My reason for not using AD to search is this is in a citrix environment
that does published apps. From within the app, I have no way of running
a search in AD that I know of. If you have a suggestion, then I am all
ears. I emailed my app dev guys and I am seeing if they can work out a
plug-in to add a search feature to the print dialog box. I still am
trying to figure out how I'm going to get this all organized even if I
do get this working.=20
In the case of using IIS, when you find the printer you want, can you
just print to it w/o having to install the printer? What I see happening
is with all the people that will be doing this, the printers will
continually be installed on the server and not deleted.=20
I like the idea from thinprint. I had found something similar to that
when I was looking around. If there is nothing to install it may be the
way to go to resolve this particular situation. =20

To be fair, I was merely explaining how the default rationale for
printer searching was supposed to work.
As to AD and LDAP - what issues did you have with searching?
FWIW, when first deploying Windows 2000 / AD, here, I designed the
printer mapping rationale around PC (ie physical) location, and finding
(from AD, using LDAP) the physical printers that matched that physical
PC location.
